Issaries doesn't appear in the Sword Story so it's a bit difficult for him to identify with Death.

If there is a myth of Issaries and Vinga where Vinga runs along on the treetops, yes. That said, I don't think such a myth exists and myths aren't easily made up by Issarites no matter how smooth talking they are.

It depends. I would assume a myth ability with the various tricks would be the easiest way to handle it.
